The Twitter debate that emerged after Herschelle Gibbs made controversial statements about Faf du Plessis’ comments about AB de Villiers’ Test future.

There has been ongoing speculation whether De Villiers will play Test cricket again, and after the Proteas’ 3-1 drubbing in England, continuous questions raise doubt whether spectators will ever see the ODI captain in whites again.

De Villiers, 33, has played 106 Tests for South Africa and scored at an average of 50.46, including 21 centuries and 39 half-centuries.

Former Proteas batsman Gibbs took to twitter in response to comments made by Du Plessis stating that ‘AB has earned the right to do whatever he wants to.’
